Description
The twentieth century was a time of unprecedented war, chaos, and human suffering. But it also ushered in an unprecedented era of non-violence. In India, Mahatma Gandhi led a non-violent revolution defeating the most powerful empire on earth. In America, Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights Movement and forever changed the racial and spiritual landscape of America. Both Gandhi and King cite Thoreau’s essential essay “Civil Disobedience” as a manifesto of moral political action. Join us as we trace the spiritual and philosophical roots of these three remarkable leaders and search for solutions to today’s vexing social and political problems.
